Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.

I'm a person of faith, [but] I don't carry it on my sleeve.

We have lots of studies about what's wrong with our education system. We need to accept responsibility, be bold, find solutions and move forward to make education a centerpiece of our economic development.

We all leave personal legacies for the people we know and love.

To get things done, we must work together. We must meet in the middle to work out our differences and find the best solutions.

I am willing to take risks, and willing to tolerate failure as long as we admit it, can learn from it and keep moving forward.

It's been said that government doesn't create jobs, business does. For the most part, this is true. But government creates the environment in which businesses can excel and expand.

Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope.

It is up to us to live up to the legacy that was left for us, and to leave a legacy that is worthy of our children and of future generations.
